On Wednesday, Danny Ray Tucker, 51, of Crane Hill, was sentenced to 10 years in federal prison on an illegal drug conviction.

When released, Tucker will be supervised for five years.

Cullman County CNET and DEA agents arrested Tucker in February, along with six other defendants, who were indicted by the Department of Justice.

“I am glad we are able to work with DEA and the Department of Justice to get this drug dealer off the streets. I would also like to say that having a tough U.S. Attorney like Jay Town, who was appointed by President Trump, we are able to fight and remove drug dealers who have been a menace to our community,” said Cullman County Sheriff Matt Gentry.

Under Federal Truth in Sentencing the suspect will have to do at least 85 percent of his time.
